Last updated: March 19, 2026  |  Effective: March 19, 2026

1 Introduction

Angry Thunder Spins ("we," "us," or "our"), operating at angrythunderspins.com, is a free social arcade entertainment platform designed exclusively for Canadian adults aged 19 and over. We are committed to protecting the privacy of all users who visit and interact with our platform.

This Privacy Policy is written in compliance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. It explains in clear, plain language what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over your information.

By accessing angrythunderspins.com, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with how we handle personal information, please discontinue use of the platform. For questions, contact our Privacy Officer at privacy@angrythunderspins.com.

No real money is ever collected, requested, or processed on this platform. We do not operate any financial accounts or payment processing systems. The only personal information we collect is what is voluntarily submitted or automatically gathered through standard web technologies as described in this policy.

3 How We Collect Information

We collect personal information through the following methods:

  • Direct submission — When you voluntarily fill out our contact form, subscribe to notifications, or otherwise interact with input fields on the platform.
  • Automated technologies — Cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies automatically collect technical and usage data when you browse our platform. See Section 9 for full details.
  • Third-party analytics — We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that collect aggregated, anonymized information about how users navigate our platform. These services have their own privacy policies.
  • Server logs — Our web servers automatically record IP addresses, browser information, referring URLs, and other standard log data as part of routine security and performance monitoring.
  • Age verification — We record whether you have confirmed you are 19 or older. We do not collect your actual date of birth; only your self-declared confirmation.

We do not purchase personal information from data brokers, acquire mailing lists, or receive your personal information from third parties other than as described above.

4 How We Use Your Information

We use personal information only for legitimate purposes directly related to operating and improving our free social arcade platform. Specific uses include:

  • Delivering the platform and its entertainment features to you in a functional, reliable manner
  • Responding to inquiries, support requests, and contact form submissions in a timely and helpful way
  • Enforcing our age restriction (19+) in compliance with our commitment to responsible entertainment
  • Conducting internal analytics to understand how users engage with the platform, which games are popular, and where improvements are needed
  • Detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our Terms of Service
  • Complying with applicable Canadian laws, regulations, court orders, and legal obligations
  • Sending platform-related updates, notices about policy changes, and optional service announcements (with your consent where required)
  • Improving platform performance, fixing technical bugs, and enhancing the overall user experience

We do not use your personal information for targeted advertising, profiling for commercial purposes, automated decision-making that produces legal effects, or any purpose incompatible with the purposes listed above. We do not sell personal information to any third party for their own marketing or commercial use.

5 Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties for their commercial gain. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers — Trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating the platform (e.g., web hosting, analytics, email services). These parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it solely to perform services on our behalf.
  • Legal requirements — We may disclose information when required by Canadian law, regulation, court order, or lawful government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Angry Thunder Spins, its users, or the public.
  • Business transfers — In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy protections.
  • With your consent — We may share information in any other situation when you have provided explicit, informed consent.

All third-party service providers who handle Canadian users' data must comply with PIPEDA requirements. We conduct due diligence on service providers to ensure adequate privacy and security standards before sharing any personal information with them.

6 Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention practices are:

  • Contact form submissions — Retained for up to 2 years to provide complete support history and for quality assurance purposes, then securely deleted.
  • Server logs and technical data — Typically retained for 90 days for security and operational purposes, after which they are automatically purged.
  • Analytics data — Aggregated and anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it no longer constitutes personal information.
  • Cookie and preference data — Retained in accordance with the individual cookie lifespans described in our Cookie Policy. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
  • Legal hold — If personal information is subject to a legal hold or active legal proceeding, it may be retained beyond the standard periods described above until the matter is resolved.

When personal information is no longer required, we securely destroy it using methods appropriate to the sensitivity of the data, including secure deletion of digital records and physical shredding of any paper-based materials.

7 Security Measures

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement a range of technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers
  • Restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis among our team
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability scanning of our web infrastructure
  • Secure, access-controlled server environments with modern firewall protections
  • Employee training on privacy and data security best practices

While we employ industry-standard security practices, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored on our platform. In the event of a privacy breach that poses a real risk of significant harm to individuals, we will notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and affected individuals as required under PIPEDA's breach reporting obligations.

  • Right to correction — If you believe any personal information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct or update it.
  • Right to withdraw consent — Where we rely on your consent to process personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect prior processing.
  • Right to complain — You have the right to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) at www.priv.gc.ca if you believe we have handled your personal information in violation of PIPEDA.
  • Right to delete — You may request deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to our legal obligations and legitimate operational needs.

10 Children's Privacy

Angry Thunder Spins is strictly intended for adults aged 19 years and older residing in Canada. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 19. Our age verification step is designed to prevent minors from accessing the platform.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor under your care has submitted personal information to us, please contact us immediately at privacy@angrythunderspins.com. Upon verification, we will promptly delete any personal information associated with the minor from our systems.

We do not direct any marketing, content, or communications toward individuals under 19, and we do not knowingly create accounts or profiles for minors. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a person under 19, we will take immediate steps to delete that information.
